Hibernating a app with tasker does not work - Greenify

I want to automate some hibernation with tasker.
But it does not add just this task to my tasks. All other greenify tasks are working.

I'd really appreciate if pictures (files) are made available at locations that doesn't require to log-in with Google. Personally, I'm not willing at all to share anything with Google i.e. currently unable to proceed in regard to your request.
There are quite a few privacy friendly alternatives available in the web; just two as an example: https://framapic.org/ or https://filebin.net/.

FWIW - You may want to consider Xposed Edge if you like grain control. I have found the Greenify/Tasker interface to be wanting at times.

This is how i combined Greenify in Shallow hibernation mode and Tasker https://imgur.com/a/ZL90uCH

Problems and questions regarding locale plugin functions

4.4.4, root, xposed, boost mode.
I Tried with greenify 2.6.2 and 2.7.1.
I use Llama. Its similar to tasker.
1 The wake function supplied by the locale plugin from greenify, I use in llama, does not wake whatsapp.
2 The sleep function to hybernate, supplied from the locale plugin (from greenify), also does not put the greenified apps to sleep.
Only if one selects a certain app (instead of "all greenified" the sleep for this app works.
@oasisfeng: Could you or anybody else please comment on that !
If the Tasker plugin of Greenify works, I've no idea why it does not work in Llama. Does Llama use the API specification compatible with Tasker?

THX for reply ...
Who tested if this really works in tasker for the versions specified ??

Doze on the go?

I'm on a nexus 5 running stock 5.1.1 with xposed and Greenify ver 3.4.3. I keep reading references to "Doze on the Go" but cannot find it in the settings.
Where and how do I set "Doze on the Go" and do I need it on Android 5.1.1?
Thank you.
Doze is a future of Android 6 and later

Thank you. That explains it.
Is doze better than Greenify's hibernation in LP?

They perform roughly the same thing with nuances too detailed to document here. By default Doze is more comprehensive encompassing most apps and services, even if benign. Greenify's actions are more targeted as you decide what gets hibernated. Both work well when properly configured. Greenify can also complement doze on Android 6+; generally they do not conflict.

Wake-up Tracking Interpretation?

I have wake-up tracking enabled on rooted Galaxy S5 6.0.1, Greenify v3.9.5. With Greenify open, if I long-press on an app awaiting hibernation that wakes up frequently, then press the menu dots I get a "Check convention fulfillment" option. Greenify then shows a transient pop-up message "Not targeting API 24+". However I do not know, and cannot find an answer on Greenify support or anywhere else, as to what this means. Does it mean that the Greenify hibernation mechanism is only targeting API 24+ for these hard-to-keep-hibernated apps or that the apps themselves target API 24+ and are therefor hard for Greenify to work with? Marshmallow 6.0.1 is API 23. Does this mean that I need to install an older version of Greenify in order to target my API 23 system, or do I need to find older versions of the hard-to-keep-hibernated system apps such as Google App, Gallery, ShootingModeProvider, etc. Camera is a special nightmare to keep hibernated. It appears that Google wants to keep the Camera on at all times.
Any guidance appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce

Best guidance is to stop trying to hibernate everything vs concentrating on the small subset of app/services that disrupt sleep/doze or otherwise exhibit 'bad behaviors. Blanket hibernation is a fools errand that offers no benefits and will likely increase power draw and side effects. Responding to your core question is much easier when there is an actual problem to solve.

Thank you for your opinion regarding the relative number of apps to hibernate, Davey, and for pointing out that, technically speaking, I posed the wrong question. I will certainly consider your opinion.
As to my question, let me try this again... Can anyone who understands the "Wake-up Tracking" functionality in Greenify please provide a technical explanation of the output of "Wake-up Tracking" or point me to Greenify documentation with such explanation?
Many thanks!

Update your app portfolio...including Greenify itself.

What about making Greenify Open Source?

See also https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...e-greenify-t3704967/post76590137#post76590137.
The advantages:
1. others trust your project more because they can check the source code themselves
2. (optionally, you do not have to let others work on your project) others can not only report bugs & freature requests, they can also fix & implement things.
@oasisfeng What do you think? If you do not want, just tell me.

There's no plan in the recent future to open source Greenify, mainly due to the risk of app background control mechanism being gamed by bad apps.
There were already many apps tried to trick the working mode detection algorithm of Greenify to treat them as working in the background, thus not hibernated as expected.
Greenify has constantly improved the detection algorithm in the past, to defeat the ever advancing behaviors of bad apps. It's really a hard battle. Open sourcing Greenify will only make it more vulnerable to bad apps.

Two problem about creating shourcut and Wake-up Tracker

Thx for reading, and please forgive my poor English.
The Greenify is the best app I had been used for cut-off apps. But I found that there are two problem:
(My phone is Xiaomi MI MIX 2S running MIUI 10 8.6.18 [Android O], with Greenify Version 4.1)
1. Can not create hibernation shortcut
When I tried to create a hibernation shortcut, the Greenify noticed that the creating was succeed. But I can not find out the shortcut in my launcher. Neither type of shortcut can be created. And I don't know why and how to fix it.
An additional detail:
when I used the permission manager to make sure that the Greenify need to request my approval to create a shortcut and then I tried to create a hibernation shortcut, there was no prompt box for requesting approval (Under normal circumstances there should be a prompt box). It seemed that somehow the Greenify did not work properly in shortcut creating.
2. Wake-up Tracker often disabled for unknown reasons
I enabled Wake-up Tracker and after a while I found that Wake-up Tracker had been disabled. Then I enabled again, after a while it had been disabled again.
Please tell me how to fix these problem, any guidance is appreciated.

I am surprised by the details furnished by you including device details, though it is your first post. Usually it is a case of "Unable to create shortcut, anyone has any idea" sort of posts that we encounter. Thanks for providing the details, though I may not be able to offer solutions.
I also faced the Wakeup Tracker issue before I uninstalled Greenify, so I have no solution for this.
Reg. the creation of shortcut, try clearing the data and cache of Greenify/uninstall and reinstall etc. If none of them work, MIUI may be an issue since it reportedly heavily modifies the Android OS.
Having said that, I would advice you to uninstall Greenify and use your phone for a couple of days. You may be surprised by the way the phone behaves even without Greenify.
I am one of the votaries of the belief (with reason) that apps like Greenify are not needed on Oreo since the OS itself behaves very well. Unless you specifically find some app misbehaving which can not be controlled without apps like Greenify, simply enjoy your device.

Yes, You may not know that, a huge of apps which developed by Chinese companies and provided to Chinese are designed strangely, they are trying their best to stay in background, call up each other and push AD messages in notification bar (sorry if I misspelled), and the companies have some agreements with Chinese OS provider such as Xiaomi to avoid killing their apps in background in Chinese version Android OS.
One of them is Alibaba, which has three most popular app in China, Taobao, Tmall and Alipay. But these three apps are designed to keep alive as much as possible and call up each other very frequently, just for push messages to introduce goods on Taobao and Alibaba's wide range of services, applications and merchandise. (BTW, I believe that a big part of app keep-alive technologies are developed by the programmers in Chinese companies.)
So maybe You can understand my pain. _зゝ∠)_

Greenify version? Rooted? Xposed?
For my device details see signature block.
I assume you don't require a video how to search the web. Such a serach with the keyworks "greenify", "help" and "adb" provides e.g. following page at the very top that most likely satisfies your needs.
